The Vedic astrology forecast for the month of June, 2015 can be made without having to account for too much movement in the planetary positions. Just as we go into June, we find that Venus (Śukra or Shukra) has moved out of Gemini (Mithuna Rāśi-Rashi) and into Cancer (Karkaṭa or Karkata), joining Gurū (Guru or Jupiter) in the exaltation sign of the latter. This itself forms the Dwi-Gurū Yoga as the preceptors of both camps are together. While it is true they will both try in right earnest to have their say, and prevail, they are such great benefics that their impact on human beings is entirely welcome, the tussle notwithstanding. Also, Jupiter in exaltation is likely to prevail which is even better because Venus rules eye-catching significations in our lives, too much of which doesn’t serve any useful purpose. The chart just on the threshold of June is given below-   Cancer is about home and happiness, and learning. It also works very well for recup...

Relationships and marriage in Vedic astrology is an important and complex subject. Important, because these are pillars of life and the structure of life is supported by its pillars; complex, because there are many determinants, with which to investigate this life-area. [Exactly how complex they are is made clear when the concerned parties relegate the comforts of theory to the background and enter the stormy seas of hello there.] Relationships in Vedic astrology - Relationships are important in themselves. They are inherently capable of being astrologically distinct from marriage because a relationship may lead to marriage or may not and a marriage may be a meaningful relationship or may not be. Significator (Kāraka or Karaka) for relationships in Vedic astrology - Venus (Śukra or Shukra) is the Naisargika Kāraka/ Natural Significator of relationships both for men and for women. By relationships, as the term is used in this paper, is meant romantic relationshi...

In this article, the subject of food is correlated with the planets and houses in Vedic astrology, extending amongst other things to dietary significations and methods of prescribing remedial measures involving food. WHY FOOD - Food is necessary for sustenance, in common parlance. As a necessity it is one of the biggest drivers in life. It is essential for the body or the Deha/ Tanu. SIGNIFICATOR OF FOOD - Moon (Cañdra or Chandra) is the Natural Significator or the Naisargika Kāraka for food in general, in Vedic astrology. It is also the Karaka for the mind, social interaction, fame and flow of things. The Moon is so important that it is treated as a Lagna in itself called the Janma Rashi (Jañma Rāśi) or the Chandra (Cañdra) Lagna. DIETARY POLICIES & FOOD BASED REMEDIES IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY - Why should there be any sort of awareness of a food intake policy or plan? If dietary policies are a valid metaphysical organisation, then adherence to...

The Nepal Earthquake on Saturday, the 25 th of April, 2015 shortly before noon, measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale and the aftershocks therafter,   as well as the earthquake on Sunday, the 26 th of April, 2015 measuring 6.7 in magnitude can be attributed solely to the condition of transit Mercury/   Budha at this time.   The transit chart is given below for ready reference-     Tattwa (Element) - Mercury (Budha) rules the Pṛthwi (Prithwi or the Earth element) Tattwa in Vedic astrology. Earthquake in Vedic Astrology - Earthquake is quite simply the earth quaking or moving which is a disturbance and anomaly in the Pṛthwi Tattwa because this element is fixed. Earth, the planet which we live on furnishes a constant context of fixity, which brings to our lives the notion of stability and being rooted. When the Earth moves, we feel completely disoriented- apart from the damage of property and homes and construction and the loss of ...

Just as the Moon transited out of debilitation in Scorpio and away from its conjunction with Saturn, things did not get easier.   For one thing, Saturday intervened, ruled by the malefic Saturn and its energies were dominant on its own day as they always are. Mercury, the significator of rationality, is debilitated and heading towards Gandanta which it occupies in both Pisces and Aries. This has in some cases led to ill-considered communications, needless vitriol, intellectual frailty and doubt in people whose horoscopes typically contain such problems. The transit Moon is also in Capricorn aspected by both Saturn and Rahu and bringing the energies of the malefic planets in areas such as work, and worse disease and long standing affliction.   On the positive side it is such transits which can precipitate major problems in life so that the concerned people can look at them squarely and address them. The Sun is going to be exalted in Aries soon but before ...

  Nodding off and sitting up - Perplexed, he awakes to another world. A world which is required to be seen and understood , that which does not weave itself through the imponderable, the fast and the illusory. Rahu Dasha - What is it that weaves itself through the speedy fabric of hedonism and abandon. It is the Rahu Dasha/ Rāhu Daśā. He is perplexed because Rāhu and Ketu are not easy to understand and could have probably befuddled the native endlessly for eighteen years, the period in the Viṃśottarī Daśā/ Vimshottari Dasha scheme. The Nodes - The Nodes of the Moon confuse because they are not there in mass- they are there as astronomical or mathematical points. Are they then there or not there. They are not there and yet they are there. They are inflexions of the mind signified by the Moon or Chandra (Cañdra). Things change - Why does he awake and not stay perplexed for ever more. The Daśā changes and brings another eclipse of the being t...
